I am currently having problems with my ADO connection string. I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem but I have yet to find a solution. Can someone help me with the proper configuration for a SQL OLEDB connection with a windows authentication? I have attached my C++ code file and a printscreen of my SQL Server Express signon screen.

// ConnectionString.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
// ConnectionStringSampleCpp.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//#import "msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF", "EndOfFile")
#import "c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll"    no_namespace rename("EOF", "EOFile")

// Function declarations
inline void TESTHR(HRESULT x) {if FAILED(x) _com_issue_error(x);};
void ConnectionStringX();
_bstr_t GetState(int intState); 
void PrintProviderError(_ConnectionPtr pConnection);
void PrintComError(_com_error &e);

int main() {
   if (FAILED(::CoInitialize(NULL)))
      return 0;

   ConnectionStringX();
   ::CoUninitialize();
}

void ConnectionStringX() {
   // Define Connection object pointers.  Initialize pointers on define.  These are in the ADODB::  namespace
   _ConnectionPtr pConnection1 = NULL;
   _ConnectionPtr pConnection2 = NULL;
   _ConnectionPtr pConnection3 = NULL;
   _ConnectionPtr pConnection4 = NULL;

   // Define Other Variables
   HRESULT hr = S_OK;

   try {
      // Open a connection using OLE DB syntax.
      TESTHR(pConnection1.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection)));
      //pConnection1->ConnectionString = "Provider='sqloledb';Data Source='(local)';"
      //   "Initial Catalog='DSNPubs';Integrated Security='SSPI';";
      //pConnection1->ConnectionString = "Provider='sqloledb';Server='PCD-LT-MCERTINI\\SQLEXPRESS';"

      //pConnection2->Open("", "", "", adConnectUnspecified);
      //printf("cnn2 state: %s\n", (LPCTSTR)GetState(pConnection2->State));

      // Open a connection using a DSN and OLE DB tags.
      //TESTHR(pConnection3.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection)));
      //pConnection3->ConnectionString = "Data Source=DataPubs;";

The following is an error message I am receiving:

Error number: 80040e4d Login failed for user 'mcertini'.
Error
Code = 80040e4d
Code meaning = I

MS-SQL server can operate in one of the two security modes:
1. Windows Authentication
2. Sql Server authentication

Read more on this subject - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905171(SQL.80).aspx

For Ms-SQL Express edition, use Windows Authentication,

pConnection1->ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=northwind";
